Thanks, @jpinasanchez.bsky.social ! Hoping this brings together everyone who ever thought, “This looks fishy — we should really test that,” in criminal law.

Easing renegotiation rules didn't substantially change Czech Republic procurement outcomes. It led to a sharp increase in renegotiations & lower winning bid values, as firms anticipated adjustments from renegotiation. K de Jaegher, @msoltes.bsky.social, V Titl cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Graph showing the quality of procurement projects over time before and after the easing of renegotiation rules.

Public procurement contracts worldwide often face high risks of cost overruns and project delays, raising questions about the scope for contract modifications. This column examines the impact of eased renegotiation rules on procurement outcomes in the Czech Republic between 2015 and 2020. Easing renegotiation rules did not substantially change procurement outcomes but led to a sharp increase in renegotiations and lower winning bid values, as firms anticipated adjustments from renegotiation. A better understanding of transaction costs associated with different policy regimes is needed to shape policy.

Every parent knows that when your kids won't show you their homework, it's only because they've definitely done it, and they're protecting you from bursting with pride about their work. And that's why I'm confident that the White House has definitely made a bunch of terrific trade deals.

I will be the first to admit that Econ 101 misses many important factors in the real world. But in case of tariffs, these real world factors (eg fragility/interdependence in supply chain networks, consumer sentiment) only make the consequences even *worse*.

Philly is the latest city to use bus-mounted cameras to automatically ticket cars blocking transit lanes and bus stops. This is one the best transportation technology innovations of the last decade. Every city should be using it.

phillyvoice.com

SEPTA, PPA will start using AI cameras in May to ticket illegally parked vehicles in bus lanes and stops

The authority will use the technology on 150 buses and more than 20 trolleys to detect the violations. Citations will be $101.
